Hi, I get "" displayed at the top of a html page I created and I cannot delete it. It is visible in the source code when you look at the site online but not through an editor. A friend suggested it was a programming error. Can you help? You can see it on www.kortaz.com Thanks.
try taking the iframe out of the <head> tags and put it into the body, and remove one of your body tags as you have two
If you can see it in the source code then just open up your html page with with notepad and removie that bit of code. When i checked your website, I couldn't see it.
</head><body padding="0px" margin="0px" alink="#ffffff" background="img/background.gif" link="#ffffff" vlink="#ffffff"> Code (markup): I checked. I saw it... I looked at your code and the characters are in there (shown above). Open up the site in your choice of editor and simply remove the characters.
That's the Byte Order Mark (BOM). It is a trouble maker for IE, as it will kick IE into quirks mode. (It comes before the DTD.) The problem lies with your text editor. There should be a way to select the character encoding. Usually, if it says Unicode, there will be a BOM. Select utf-8. There could be a choice there, so select the one without the mark. cheers, gary
I've tried all the edits so far guys and none solve the problem. kk5st - How do I change the character encoding? Frontpage won't allow it, the "web settings" option is disabled, I cannot click on it. Thanks so far.
khalid, I don't know how frontpage settings work as I've never used it (don't plan to, either). But, the easiest way to fix your problem is to use Notepad2 to convert the encoding. Just download the binary and unzip it. It can be run out of the box without installation. Open your html and select "File" > "Encoding" and choose UTF-8. Save. You're done.
